Quality Insights – Smart Issue Prioritization with CppDepend

Quality Insights: Focus on What Really Matters

Modern codebases contain thousands of potential issues. Fixing everything at once is unrealistic. Quality Insights helps teams focus their effort where it delivers the highest value by intelligently prioritizing issues based on risk, usage, and long-term impact.

Instead of overwhelming developers with raw rule violations, CppDepend highlights the most critical and high-priority problems first, while keeping long-term quality improvements visible and measurable.

Smart Issue Prioritization

Quality Insights classifies issues into clear, actionable categories such as:

  • Critical Priority Fix – Issues that pose immediate risks and must be addressed first
  • High Priority Fix – Problems with significant impact on maintainability or reliability
  • Design Fix – Architectural and design concerns affecting code structure
  • Readability Fix – Improvements that make the code easier to understand and maintain
  • Long-Term Quality – Technical debt items to plan and track over time

This structured view allows teams to make informed decisions, align fixes with business priorities, and avoid wasting time on low-impact changes.

Actionable Guidance, Not Just Warnings

Quality Insights does more than identify problems. For each category, CppDepend provides practical guidance and dedicated tools to help developers understand and resolve issues efficiently.

  • Direct access to the most impacted methods and types
  • Refactoring suggestions for overly complex code
  • AI-powered prompts to accelerate issue resolution
  • Code insights to understand root causes and side effects

Developers spend less time analyzing reports and more time fixing real problems.

Measure and Control Technical Debt

Quality Insights integrates technical debt metrics directly into the analysis, helping teams understand the cost of poor quality and track progress over time.

With clear ratings, trends, and cost-to-reach targets, teams can:

  • Monitor quality evolution across builds
  • Prevent quality regressions
  • Plan refactoring efforts realistically
  • Align technical decisions with long-term goals

Designed for Development Teams

Quality Insights is designed to fit naturally into developers’ workflows. It scales from small projects to large enterprise codebases and helps teams continuously improve quality without slowing down delivery.

By combining intelligent prioritization, actionable guidance, and powerful analysis tools, Quality Insights turns static analysis into a practical decision-making assistant.

CppDepend offers a wide range of features. It is often described as a Swiss Army Knife for C and C++ developers.
